It Is Not In The Best Interest Of South Dakota To Have Liquor Available 24/7

HB1123 is an act to authorize alcoholic beverages to be sold, served, and consumed in certain on-sale licensees during an extended period of time. This is a Deadwood bill.

Currently, statewide it is illegal to sell and serve alcoholic beverages between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. HB1123 would wipe out that restriction in certain casino/bars in Deadwood, in effect, allowing 24/7 liquor sales/service.

The only prohibition for liquor would be Christmas Day.

We are concerned that this opens the door for 24/7 sales/service statewide.
